Assuming it's like the modern EU which technically has 2 capitals mayve Vienna is the official capital with Lisboone as the administrative capital

- A UK that posseses Iceland
- A renewed Iberian Union with a capital in Toledo (although there's also something weird going on with Lisbon there, the article I got this from suggested it might be the capital of some sort of unified Europe but that role is taken by Vienna so who the fuck knows)
- A France with a north-northeastern-eastern border at the Rhine
- A Germany with its capital at Dresden that includes Austria and Bohemia
- A Scandinavian Union (minus Iceland and possibly Greenland) that contains a mega Finland holding Karelia and the Kola Peninsula, with its capital in Stockholm
- A screwed over Russia with its capital in Novgorod
- The greatest Circassia-wank I've ever seen, although to be fair it probably wasn't quite as ridiculous at the time considering Russia was till trying to conquer the Circassians. Oh, and its capital is either something new that would need to be constructed in this scenario, or a strangely renamed Volgograd.
- A Poland probably based on the idea of interference in the then occurring 1863 Uprising, with its capital in what looks like a strangely renamed Lviv, with some strangely Intermarium-esque borders
- A Vienna that's the "capital of Europe" (whatever that means in this scenario - a 19th century EU, maybe?)
- A bizarrely slim looking Italy that has Corsica and seemingly a few other bits of territory than it does OTL with its capital in Rome
- A Greek Empire that includes nearly all of the Balkans - i.e. pretty much all of the territory in Europe that the Ottomans controlled at the time (to be fair, I think there were some ideas among Greek nationalists of them creating something that more or less looked like this based on their assumption that they could helenize or re-helenize the Slavs in the area)
- Lots of straight roads that are actually rather irrationally placed (the road from France to Iberia goes through what is exactly the highest part of the Pyrenees
Guys, I found an older map on this. http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8491839g/f1.zoom

Lisboone is the capital of the world.Assuming it's like the modern EU which technically has 2 capitals mayve Vienna is the official capital with Lisboone as the administrative capital
"Hey Germany, you know that world war you just barely lost and arguably won on the Eastern Front?"Here's a 1919 proposal for the reorganization of Germany after the Treaty of Versailles. The goal was to create fourteen Free States with comparable populations and a shared culture. It was mostly shut down due to opposition by most German states.
Given the name on the map, I am guessing it was a German who proposed this. Besides, this is a map about internal borders, not national ones. At least I think so."Hey Germany, you know that world war you just barely lost and arguably won on the Eastern Front?"
"Yeah..? Why?"
"We've decided to end the concept of Germany. You game?"
"..."
God, I pray it's national bordersGiven the name on the map, I am guessing it was a German who proposed this. Besides, this is a map about internal borders, not national ones. At least I think so.
Nope. I just googled the name of the guy mentioned on the map, and it says he was a Weimar politician who wanted the country reorganized on a federal basis.God, I pray it's national borders
Thats upsettingNope. I just googled the name of the guy mentioned on the map, and it says he was a Weimar politician who wanted the country reorganized on a federal basis.
Was this part of that Arab Federation proposal with Iraq as well?King Hussein's planned United Arab Kingdom, a federation between the West Bank and Jordan.
